PRISCILLA

I stood frozen, my back pressed lightly against the door, breath shallow.

How did he know my full name?

My fingers fumbled behind me for the doorknob, just in case I needed to bolt. But the man didn’t move. He just stood there, arms calmly at his sides, as if appearing out of nowhere was the most natural thing in the world.

“Who… are you?” I finally managed, my voice quiet and shaky.

He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he tilted his head slightly, his eyes—pale and stormy—seeming to search beneath my skin like he was looking for something only he could see.

Before I could speak again, the door behind me creaked open, then pushed in with force.

“Who are you talking to?” Gabriel’s deep voice cut through the tense air, sharp and demanding.

I spun around instinctively, my gaze locking on his bare chest—muscles sculpted like they’d been carved out of stone, glistening faintly from the steam still clinging to his skin.

My throat dried. I swallowed hard.

And then my heart thudde

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 32

    PRISCILLA Aurora held my gaze for a moment longer, her eyes strangely calm, like she could see more than what was in front of her. Then she nodded once, as if satisfied.“You may feel tired,” she said. “The spell taps into your aura—shifts it, masks it. Give your body time to adjust.”I gave a slight nod, rubbing my arms as if trying to ease the weight that still clung to me. “I’ll be fine.”Gabriel stepped closer. “If anything feels off, you tell me. Immediately.”His voice was firm—commanding—but it didn’t irritate me like before. Maybe because, for once, I could sense it wasn’t about control. It was protection. And I didn’t have the energy to fight that.Aurora stood, brushing ash from her palms. “You should rest. The spell’s strongest within the first few hours. I’ll reinforce it tomorrow if needed.”Gabriel gave her a nod of thanks before placing a hand lightly on my back, guiding me toward the door. I let him. Just this once. But then I stopped at the door and turned back towar

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 1

    PRISCILLA'S POVI’ve always been afraid of flying.It’s an irrational fear, I know. Statistics say I’m more likely to die in a car crash than in a plane falling out of the sky, but tell that to my palms currently slick with sweat. The cabin’s thin air doesn’t help; every breath feels shallow, too light, like it’s not enough to keep me grounded. I grip the armrests a little tighter, ignoring the irritated glance from the man sitting beside me.“Sorry,” I mumbled.He doesn’t reply, which is fine. I’m not in the mood to chat anyway. I’m too busy trying to keep my anxiety under control—and not just about the plane.New York to Oregon. That’s a big leap for someone who’s spent her entire life surrounded by the steel and hum of the city. I’m leaving behind my overpriced studio apartment, the loud streets, the aroma of fresh bagels on every corner—all for an obscure forest town no one’s ever heard of.Shadow Pine. Sounds like the title of a cheap horror flick, right? But for the last few mo

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 2

    PRISCILLA The motel room was quiet. Too quiet. I set my duffle bag on the creaky mattress and sighed, the springs groaning in protest beneath its weight. Everything about this place screamed "forgotten"—from the peeling wallpaper to the flickering fluorescent bulb dangling like a noose from the ceiling. It wasn’t exactly a five-star getaway, but it had been the closest thing to civilization after landing in Oregon’s nowhere-ville. Pulling the blinds apart just a fraction, I peered out. My window overlooked nothing but endless pine trees, their silhouettes dark against the dimming grey sky. The wind outside made them sway, their branches scratching one another like whispers in the gloom. I shivered despite myself and let the blinds snap shut. I didn’t know what I had expected—Oregon was forests and mountains, but there was something off about this particular town. The air felt heavier here, thick with the scent of pine needles and damp earth, but there was something else too—so

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 3

    PRISCILLA I woke up to the sound of tapping. Soft. Rhythmic. Like fingernails against glass. My eyes snapped open, and for a moment, I was disoriented, the strange motel room coming back into focus under the faint glow of the lamp I’d left on overnight. I sat up, my heartbeat thudding in my chest as I strained to listen. Tap. Tap. Tap. I turned my head toward the window. The blinds were still drawn, but something about the sound sent a chill crawling up my spine. Slowly, I swung my legs off the bed and stood. My boots were still on from last night, and my jacket draped haphazardly across the chair. I’d been too tired to change after trudging back from the gas station. I moved toward the window, every step careful, deliberate. For a fleeting moment, I imagined the guy from the gas station standing out there, grinning. Or maybe a raccoon? Please let it be a raccoon. I reached for the blinds and yanked them open. Nothing. The forest sat there, dark and motionless acros

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 4

    PRISCILLA My foot hovered over the gas pedal, indecision knotting in my chest like a vice. The man was gone, swallowed by the mist like he’d never been there at all. The road ahead stretched into darkness, the headlights cutting through only a few feet before being devoured by the night. What the hell just happened? My hands trembled against the steering wheel. I glanced at the rearview mirror, half-expecting to see him standing right behind the car, but it was empty—just the faint red glow of my tail lights against the fog. Every rational part of me screamed to keep driving. To get the hell out of this creepy, clearly haunted town and not look back. But that primal instinct—the one that had pulled me into journalism and kept me chasing stories I had no business chasing—itched beneath my skin. Who was he? What was he doing out here? And why did his eyes… glow? I shook my head, exhaling hard. “Okay, Priscilla. This is how horror movies start.” My voice sounded hollow i

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 5

    PRISCILLA My breath caught in my throat as I stumbled back, my knees hitting the edge of the bed. My fingers clutched the blanket tightly, trembling as I stared at the door. The man from the road—his glowing eyes—why does he keep showing up? What did he want from me? A sharp, distant growl echoed through the room, so low it felt like it was vibrating through the walls. I tried to move, to breathe, but my body wouldn’t respond. My heart pounded hard against my ribcage as my gaze darted to the window. Shadows seemed to shift and twist there, as though something was— “No!” I gasped. I jolted upright, gasping as though I’d been plunged into ice-cold water. My chest heaved, the room spinning for a split second before the world settled back into reality. It was a dream. I let out a shaky breath, rubbing my face with both hands as I tried to steady myself. “A dream,” I whispered as if saying it aloud would convince me. My pulse still raced as I swung my legs over the side of the be

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 6

    GABRIEL’S POV The forest was alive with the scent of blood and rain. My feet pounded against the wet earth as I sprinted, my breaths sharp and even. I could still feel the rogue’s presence lingering ahead of me—faint, erratic like it was teasing me into chasing it deeper. “Come on,” I growled under my breath, muscles flexing as I pushed faster. My body hummed with energy, the beast inside itching to take over and run on all fours. But I didn’t have the luxury of shifting now. Not so close to the main road. Not when eyes could be watching. I broke through the last stretch of trees, and that’s when I saw it—light. Headlights. The moment I burst into the clearing, the car came into view, speeding down the slick, empty road. Its blinding beams caught me dead in the centre, turning me into a silhouette on the pavement. “Shit,” I hissed, throwing up the detachable hood over my head to shield my face as the headlights glared brighter. The mist, thick and rolling from the earlier

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 7

    GABRIEL The bright sun spilt across the forest, breaking the shadows and painting the world in vivid gold. But instead of its usual warmth, the light brought something else—something sharp and overwhelming. The scent slammed into me like a brick wall, so thick and acrid it made my head spin. My wolf growled in discomfort, shaking his head to clear it, but it didn’t help. The closer I moved toward the source, the more oppressive it became. As I blinked away the haze clouding my vision, I caught a glimpse of movement. A figure hunched behind a tree, half-hidden in its shadow. My wolf’s vision sharpened, cutting through the mist and the veil of the trees, and I could see the agonized expression on his face. It was a rogue all this time. He was shielding himself from the sunlight, his arms raised as if warding off an invisible blade. “What the fucking hell?” I muttered, my brows furrowing. “Is he… a vampire?” ‘And a wolf,’ my wolf growled in response, his tone low and bristlin

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 30

    PRISCILLA I hummed to myself as I stood in his stupidly oversized closet, fingers trailing over a row of neatly folded shirts that all smelled like him. Of course, they did. Arrogant Alpha and his possessive scent marking every damn thing he owned. I turned to where he’d left me, scoffing under my breath. “What the hell is wrong with him?” I muttered. I wasn’t asking for much. Pyjamas. A pair of clean, non-alpha-scented pyjamas. But no—Mr. Growly-Luna-Is-Mine just had to make everything difficult. With a frustrated sigh, I stomped back into the room and sat on the edge of the massive bed. I glared at the closet door for a moment longer, then flopped backwards on the mattress, arms sprawled out. “Nope. Not wearing his clothes,” I muttered to myself. “I’ll sleep in this damn dress if I have to.” Which I did. It was mildly itchy. Tight in all the wrong places. And uncomfortable as hell. But I’d rather suffer than give him the satisfaction. I turned over, burying my face in

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 29

    GABRIEL I stared at Aurora, her breath ragged, her fists clenched by her sides.“I discovered what she is,” she repeated, quieter now, but it rang louder than any scream in my ears.My heart thudded in my chest like a war drum. The room suddenly felt colder—thicker—as if the very air had stilled to listen.I rose slowly from the chair behind my desk, camera forgotten in my hand, the rogue’s eerie half-smile still frozen on the screen. “You’re sure?” I asked, my voice low, and rough with tension. Aurora nodded once. “Not just sure. I’ve confirmed it. I had to dig into ancient spellbooks, the forbidden tomes that haven’t seen light since before even your grandfather ruled. But it all lines up.”She crossed the room, pulling a folded parchment from inside her jacket. Old. Yellowed with age. The writing on it wasn’t even in English—it was some forgotten, curving script that shimmered faintly when the candlelight hit it. I didn’t speak. Just stared. “You know how I’ve always said

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 28

    GABRIEL She was beneath me now. Trapped. Caged. ‘Mine.’Her scent curled around me like a drug—sweet, intoxicating, maddening. It was more than just her presence; it was the bond. It was the pull of something far deeper, far more primal than words could ever define. Her anger was a storm, crackling in the air between us, but underneath it—I felt it. The bond was working its way into her just as much as it had taken root in me. Her chest rose and fell unevenly, her heartbeat thrumming erratically against my heightened senses. The way her breath hitched, the slight tremor in her fingers as she clenched the sheets beneath her—she was fighting it, fighting ‘me,’ but she ‘felt’ it. I could hear it in the silence between us. I could smell it in the air. The need. The pull. She was mine. I could do anything I wanted with her body. And yet— I could

    PRISCILLA The girl led me inside, her steps light and practised, as if she had walked these halls her entire life. My thoughts spun in a whirlwind, but one question managed to break through the chaos. “What’s your name?” I asked, my voice steady despite the storm inside me. She turned her head slightly, her expression remaining neutral. “Lilian, my lady.” I grimaced at the title but let it slide. Now wasn’t the time. We moved through the house, and soon I recognized the path—my chest tightening the closer we got. It was the same hallway, the same turns, the same door. I stopped, narrowing my eyes at Lilian. “Why are we here?” I demanded. “I asked to see my friend, the one who was taken.” Lilian gave me a confused look. “Your friend is in this room, Luna.” I frowned, my gut twisting with doubt. Without another word, I pushed past her and entered. The moment I stepped inside, I froze. My breath hitched. Davina was sprawled across the bed, tangled in the thick sheets,

  • The Miracle Luna   CHAPTER 26

    PRISCILLA My heart thudded so loud in my chest I swore everyone could hear it. My eyes darted around, searching for Davina — needing to see her, to make sure she was okay. But all I saw were strangers, their faces expectant... curious... some even excited. The wolfman — *him* — still held me, his grip firm yet careful, like he knew I might bolt if he let go. Then a man stepped forward from the crowd, draped in a deep red robe. His face was stern, voice carrying over the dead silence. “Alpha Gabriel of the Redwood Pack,” he bellowed, “you have summoned us to bear witness to the marking of your Luna — your equal, your queen. Do you come forth willingly?” Gabriel. *So that’s his name...* I stiffened, my head snapping toward him. *Luna?* Gabriel’s voice came out steady, strong. “I do.” I shook my head frantically. *No. No, this isn’t happening.* The robed man turned his cold gaze on me. “And you... human... Do you come forth willingly? To accept his mark, to rule beside h

    PRISCILLA A sudden laugh burst out of Davina, catching me off guard.I blinked and sat upright, narrowing my eyes at her. "What the hell is so funny?"Davina wiped at her eyes, grinning. "It’s ridiculous, Pris... I might never see my family again... or my boyfriend, shit..." She shook her head, letting out another small laugh. "But I just can’t stop thinking about your asshole boss. I mean — Joel, crying like a baby with a broken arm... that image is stuck in my head, and it’s weirdly satisfying."She turned to me fully, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You must’ve felt good... watching that happen, huh?"That pulled a laugh from me too — a real one — loud and unfiltered. I leaned back on my hands, shaking my head. "God... it was," I admitted, grinning. "It was satisfying as hell, but... I couldn’t even enjoy it, Davina. Right there in that moment... I was too shocked. Scared, honestly."Davina snorted. "When are you ever scared of anything, Priscilla?"I smiled, letting out a shaky

    PRISCILLA My heart pounded like a war drum in my chest, each step I took making it worse. I could still taste him. Still feel him. What the hell was I thinking? I growled low under my breath, the sound nearly shocking me. I kissed him. I actually kissed him.“Stupid… so stupid,” I muttered, curling my fists at my sides as I tried to shake the memory away. But no matter how many turns we took, it stayed. Etched in my skin. Burned in my mind. That smirk... that scent... I nearly groaned again.How could I let my guard down like that? Especially with him. Another turn, then another. My mind spiralled so deep I didn’t even realize Evelyn had stopped until I nearly crashed right into her. "Shit!" I gasped, stumbling back as Evelyn turned with an arched brow. "Careful," she muttered. "You keep walking like that, you’ll break your neck before you even meet your friend." I forced a shaky breath, managing the barest smile. "Sorry... just... lost in my head." "Yeah, I can tell." Evel
